Here's most of the obit:

......Constance Bartlett Hieatt died at her home in Essex, CT, on December 29, 2011. A professor of English, a medieval scholar and a pioneer in the field of medieval cookery, Dr. Hieatt moved back to Connecticut, where she had spent her childhood summers, upon her retirement, as Professor Emeritus, from the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Hieatt continued her scholarly work and published numerous works after her retirement, including her latest Cocatrice and Lampray Hay: Late Fifteenth-Century Recipes from Corpus Christi College Oxford which will be published on Feb. 22, 2012. At the time of her death she was working on the final editing of her last book, The Culinary Recipes of Medieval England, which will be completed with the assistance of her sister, Ellen Nodelman, and published posthumously.

Born in Boston, Massachusetts, Constance Hieatt grew up in New York City and in Connecticut, graduating from Friends Seminary, attending Smith College, and earning her bachelors and masters degrees from Hunter College. She was awarded a fellowship from Yale and earned her Ph.D. in 1960. Before her entrance into academia, Constance Hieatt worked in a variety of positions in print media and other businesses in New York City. After two brief marriages, to George Loomis and to Michael Bodkin, she met and married fellow medievalist A. Kent Hieatt, then teaching at Columbia, forming a lasting partnership that took the pair from New York City to full professorships at the University of Western Ontario. They spent their summers at Wytham Abbey, outside of Oxford, England, before they retired and returned to Connecticut, living first in a house built in back of the old family home on River Road in Deep River and, finally, in Essex Meadows. Dr. Kent Hieatt died in January of 2009.

Like her husband, Dr. Hieatt began her medieval studies as a Chaucerian,but she moved on to focus her scholarly work largely on writings in Old English and Old Norse. She also formed an interest in Children’s Literature and taught countless undergraduate courses on that subject. She combined her fascination with things medieval with her considerable expertise as a cook to begin her trail-blazing work in medieval cookery. Her substantial publishing record reflects the variety of her professional interests. She and Kent Hieatt co-authored a children’s version of The Canterbury Tales in the late 1950’s, The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer - Special Edition For Young Readers, published by Golden Press and illustrated by Gustav Tengren. Later, they collaborated once again on The Canterbury Tales, this time the Bantam dual-language edition still in use in schools and universities the world over. Constance Hieatt also published Beowulf and Other Old English Poems, again familiar texts to English students past and present, as well as her translation of the Old Norse saga, Karlamagnus: The Saga of Charlemagne and His Heroes, and a basic text for learning Old English: Essentials of Old English. Dr. Hieatt wrote a series of children’s books as well, based on the “Matter of Britain” or Arthurian legends, including Gawain and the Green Knight, The Castle of Ladies, The Knight of the Cart, The Knight of the Lion, The Minstrel Knight, The Sword and The Grail and The Joy of the Court. Among her many medieval cookery offerings was the popular Pleyn Delit: Medieval Cookery for Modern Cooks, co-written with Professor Sharon Butler; Curye on Inglysch with Sharon Butler; Concordance of English Receipes: Thirteen through Fifteenth Centuries; Libellus De Arte Conquinaria: An Early Northern Cookery Book with Rudolph Grewe; An Ordinance of Pottage; The Form of Cury: The Cuisine of the Court of Richard II of England as well as her most recent books mentioned above......

Emeril Live did an interesting show about medieval cuisine. They made a maid
of honor cake. No pun intended.

Better late than never, I say. I can't help it if someone doesn't notify me as soon as someone in the culinary world dies. It's not as if her name was as familiar as Anthony Bourdain's, after all. Besides, I didn't see any obits in the newspapers. In the best of worlds, I would have been seven months late at the most.

Now, if only I could find out more about the late Barbara Nynde Byfield, author of the humorous 1960s "The Eating-in-Bed Cookbook." Namely, HOW she died - at 58, in 1988. (She also wrote murder mysteries, kids' books, and "The Book of Weird," which is a thin, tongue-in-cheek encyclopedia on nameless fairy tale characters and the occult.)

On this page theres a pic of her grave and link to her death
certificate. It's a pay link but if you have friends into genealogy they
may have an account and would look for you. (Do American death certs
state the cause of death? )

http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg...r&GRid=5576360

Alternatively, you can find someone with an account at

to look up the newspaper obituaries they hold for that name

Thanks. Don't know how I misspelled her middle name.

You can see five images from "The Eating-in-Bed Cookbook" here -

http://www.etsy.com/listing/87677572...n-bed-cookbook

- they include the cover, her photo, and the table of contents. (She did her own illustrations.) From the photo, I'm guessing she was a smoker.

I don't know when I'd have the time, ambition, or willing co-eaters to attempt the goose cassoulet, but I've enjoyed the Nest Eggs (it includes dried beef, kidney beans and rice), the Spilt Milk Pudding (baked custard - but I needed to cut back on the sugar and turn up the heat), Curried Favor (made with lamb, yogurt and a lot of spices - I suspect it would taste just as well if the spices were cut by half), Piggy Bank Beef (stroganoff), Suleyman's Comfort (also made with lamb, currants, pinenuts, but I cut the rice by half), and Ether (macaroons with fruit, cream and brandy).

And, on page 35:


"If you've just seen 'Captains Courageous' on the Late Show and if you're crying like a baby long before the last commercial, don't be embarrassed. The minor woes of life are painful and deserve something on your stomach. These (deviled) eggs, accompanied by a glass of champagne, will wash down the lump in your throat."


Article on the cookbook:
http://old.post-gazette.com/food/20000406vint7.asp
It includes the Deep Sleep Apple Pie recipe.



Quotes from "The Book of Weird" a.k.a. "The Glass Harmonica"

Witches lead disorderly lives, hate salt, and cannot weep more than three tears.

Trolls eat people and, in time of famine, stones.

Dragons drag: they are lazy, sluggish and prefer to live on their reputations.

Princesses are subject to evil stepmothers, but perform unsavory tasks well (kissing toads, etc.).

Torturers reek of mutton, cold sweat, and rust.

It is considered ill fortune if Ravens in residence suddenly move out.

Elves are highly literate, and are fond of souffles, omelettes, popovers, and champagne.

Ogres have weak eyesight, flat feet, and children who are chronically adenoidal and round shouldered.


Two of my favorites:

Damsel: A young and gently reared unmarried girl who plays gently upon a dulcimer, attends balls in a domino, and tends to end up in distress.


Burial Alive: ...When the point of death approaches, it is well to recall that one's skeleton will in all likelihood be found in later years. Assume, therefore, a significant and pleasing attitude for your bones to be found in. It is well to control your hunger and let the last spider survive you, for its webs will add much pathos to your remains when they are discovered.


Myths, Fables and Legends:

Myths: Tales of much meaning, with no moral, rich in events and characters some say never existed. Myths never end.

Fables: Tales for remembering when decisions are in the making, crossroads come upon, and choices to be made. They are told most unsuccessfully to children; their authors enjoy them most.

Legends: Tales of the particular, wherein the true meaning and import of actions, events and people is made forever.

???? I was glad Lenona posted that, even if it is old news. I
didn't know that Hieatt was dead.

Evidently a user of men. Apparently neither Loomis nor Bodkin could
get her where she wanted to go in life, so she cast her bait back into
the river. I wonder if she was screwing these other guys while she was
still married to the previous one. But she seemingly was a boat anchor
wrapped around Hieatt;s ankles. Who would leave Columbia for UWO?
Unless he was denied tenure, of course. But Hieatt was an associate
professor at Col'b'a -- he taught there from 1944 to 1969

You never met chicks like that? Before the second wave of feminism,
hitching your wagon to a male star was one way for a woman to get
ahead. One of my classmates dated graduate students, but only in her
major. Her gpa was phenomenal. Another went right for an assistant
professor, and they became an academic duo at a giant landgrant
school.

For reference, the first one was stunning, while the second had a nose
like a macaw's. Didn't really matter.

Or are you in reality "The Other Gal," supporting your sisters?
